'Many achievers are actually doing things they are interested in. During the visit, Mr SHUN encouraged the participants to develop their interests. Mr SHUN has played a leading role in developing the world's first Light Detection and Ranging Windshear Alerting System.

He continued to work hard on his favourite subjects and, finally, he was enrolled at the University of Hong Kong, where he studied Physics. Even after several surgery operations, his eyesight did not recover fully. Mr SHUN was diagnosed as having a detached retina. It slowly changed from deep red to dark green before turning into a black area which obscured my field of vision, blocking my view of the book pages,' he said.

'One day while I was reading, I suddenly saw a red patch in my eye. Mr SHUN suffered a severe setback when he was studying Form 3. Diligent and keen on learning, he always ranked among the top three in school examinations. Mr SHUN has been a lover of mathematics and physics since he was a child. Mr SHUN was appointed as the Director of the HKO in April 2011 at the age of 47, making him the youngest ethnic Chinese to hold the position. The participants also had the rare opportunity of meeting Mr SHUN Chi-ming, Director of the HKO, who shared with them his own experience of personal growth.

The visit, jointly organised by the CDF and the HKO for the first time, included a tour around the Central Forecasting Office and the TV Studio. Over 40 CDF participants visited the Hong Kong Observatory (HKO) Headquarters in Tsim Sha Tsui on 29 March 2016. The cloud atlas serves as the global standard for the observation of clouds and meteorological phenomena for use by WMO Members around the world.A single conversation with a wise man is better than ten years of study. The HKO also developed and operates the new online version of the International Cloud Atlas, launched by WMO in 2017. As the RSMC for Nowcasting for the Asian region, the HKO will provide meteorological organizations in the region with products and techniques related to nowcasting of high-impact weather events. Mr Shun and Professor Taalas attended the opening ceremony of the Regional Specialised Meteorological Centre (RSMC) for Nowcasting.

HKO is very pleased to collaborate with the WMO in establishing the Global Multi-hazard Alert System to help minimize loss due to natural disasters.вЂќ

Mr Shun said, вЂњAs a member of the WMO, Hong Kong, China, will play a more significant role in fostering regional and international meteorological co-operation to ensure public safety and reduce disaster risk. The new Severe Weather Information Centre website will support WMOвЂ™s efforts to strengthen multi-hazard alerts at a global level, contributing to the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction,вЂќ said Mr Taalas. вЂњThis Memorandum of Understanding will further strengthen our co-operation and significantly contributes to the global meteorological information services. Members of the public, decision makers and international and humanitarian agencies can make use of the information on the websites to keep an overview of natural hazards on a global basis and take appropriate disaster risk reduction measures. In this connection, the HKO has revamped the Severe Weather Information Centre website and is also updating the World Weather Information Service website to aggregate authoritative warning signals about high-impact weather, water and climate events from National Meteorological and Hydrological Services. Under a Memorandum of Understanding signed by HKO Director Shun Chi-ming and WMO Secretary-General Petteri Taalas, HKO will support WMOвЂ™s initiative in establishing the Global Multi-hazard Alert System (GMAS). WMO has signed an agreement with the Hong Kong Observatory (HKO) to further strengthen meteorological cooperation.
